  constructor from a table of attributes.

  it's is assumed the table contains OID/String pairs, and the contents of the table are copied into an internal table as part of the construction process.

  Note: if the name you are trying to generate should be following a specific ordering, you should use the constructor with the ordering specified below.

  Takes an X509 dir name as a string of the format "C=AU, ST=Victoria", or some such, converting it into an ordered set of name attributes with each string value being converted to its associated ASN.1 type using the passed in converter. If reverse is true the ASN.1 sequence representing the DN will be built by starting at the end of the string, rather than the start.

### X509Name

    public X509Name(boolean reverse,
                    java.util.Hashtable lookUp,
                    java.lang.String dirName)
